Racking Our Hard Cider & Pressing Our Apple Scrap Vinegar Pulp

[@wwsuwannee7993]

I have brewed thousands of gallons of just about everything. One thing I'd like to say is those simple cone over fermentation locks can't be beat. Easy to fill and clean, and there is no danger of "lock juice" getting sucked into your fermenter from a back pressure screw up. In fact, I have actually seen these same locks being used at micro breweries venting hundreds of gallons of brew :)

Pretty amazing what can be made from just scraps.

[@Wilderstead]

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

So I’m that guy that always packs Maple Syrup into my cider before fermentation. Got give that yeast plenty of sugar to eat if you want to make the booze. Nice video Dave and Amanda

[@Wilderstead]

Yes indeed Joe! We do that with our batches of blueberry wine. Soooo tasty. Cheers buddy! Hope all is well over your way!

I live in northern Minnesota, above the lake about 40 miles from central Ontario. The land of nothing :) I love it...the north woods is best in the fall eh ")

[@patrickglaser1560]

Ya, I stopped caring about taking hydrometer samples too... save for knowing when it's done

[@sherylh4780]

Love your videos!

[@Wilderstead]

Thanks Sheryl! Glad you like them!

[@bettinah.7429]

I would love to learn how to make this one day. I guess I could use bought cider? Oh and those carboys? I found a bottle like that on the side of the road,I believe the people at that particular house made wine…..how do you clean and sanitize those containers?

[@Wilderstead]

You can get big long brushes for cleaning them at most wine making stores. That and we use hydrogen peroxide mixed with water. There are also various sterilizing agents available at wine shops.

[@Wilderstead]

Cheers Deborah!

[@MiAnUAcres]

I just love watching you two!! The inspiration and knowledge blend well with you perfectly!! But enough with the logic 😂😂😂 Where did you get the press?

[@Wilderstead]

Love that! That particular press we got when we were living in Connecticut, from a small home brew type shop. The larger one we also purchased used. Great deals on both of them!

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

Yuuuup need a taste test.

[@Wilderstead]

Always good to be sure about these things!

[@bettinah.7429]
